Regarding the "fuming", can you post pix? Is there a haze inside the glass on the imploded portions or did you have surface problems? If it was inside the glass, try keeping it hotter, don't let it cool down as this promotes interior hazing. You can also try different clears as they yield very different results!
Turquesa and Irrid look really good in implosions - Irrid is more etherial, they're basically the same color except that Turquesa is much denser. try backing them with another color too. Elvis red or Pomegranate look great imploded too - again, back them for different looks (try a cadmium/crayon color for opaque reds).
